"Haw can a man best prepare ,
hinnelf to be a successful au
thojt" asked an aspirant for lit era^y
honors of a well known
y" publisher not long ago.
"Get a job on a newspaper," ,
;.wMS the terse reply.
f. "But I am serious," said the
I. other. "I mean to write books."
f "I am serious also," replied
K the publisher. "You would be

opportunity of seeing life under

per men would be long indeed.
Of course I don't want you to
infer that I mean it to be absolutely
necessary to start in as a
reporter, but if one is to judge
frOm the numerous examples before
us, that is a mighty good
way."
What tbe publisher said of
authors might be said with equal
truth of editors, especially of
magizines, into whose ranks
have entered many who were
formerly of the newspaper
world. ,
The reporter who represents
his paper in other countries, especially
during time of war or
of other great happenings, gets
a chance to store up a mine of
Information and experiences
which will prove of exceeding
usefulness in later days. One
press correspondent who has
profited by such experiences is
Will Levington Comfort, a Western
newspaper man who has
been coming steadily to the front
during the last few years as a
writer of fiction. He was at
Martinique 'at the time Saint |
Pierre was destroyed by the :
eruption of Mont Pelee, and he
has made admirable use of experiences
in a novel called "The
Whited Sepulchre," which is published
